Chapter Twenty-Six: The Edge of Doom (26) is hard to swallow

Everyone gathered together, and Li Chao used a lighter to light the fire on the ground, which Mo Chen had made improvised before leaving.

Li Chao said that after Mo Chen and Professor Wen left, he had been waiting here obediently and did not dare to go anywhere.

But the longer they waited, the longer they watched, and seeing that the night had passed, Mo Chen and the others had not returned.

However, Li Chao was really scared, so he went upstairs to find them alone.

In his own words, if the danger upstairs and Mo Chen and the two of them can't resist, then he will only go alone, and he will just be sent to death.

Having said that, listening to Mo Chen's ears, it was still inevitably uncomfortable.

Mo Chendang even sarcastically mocked Li Chao: "You can think about it!" ”

Li Chao felt embarrassed, except for grinning, his facial features no longer knew what kind of expression to put on.

In the blink of an eye, it had been two days since Mo Chen and the others left the first floor, and Li Chao finally couldn't sit still.

Hesitant to go upstairs to take a look. Even if it's just standing on the stairs, let's see what's going on upstairs first.

As he had just drowned down the stairs and walked to the jogging platform between the first and second floors, suddenly the whole building shook violently.

Li Chao thought that a new explosion was coming suddenly, and he knew that he was in the building, and once the building collapsed, it was very likely that he would be buried alive.

Thinking of this, Li Chao immediately turned around and rushed to the door.

The emperor was not gracious, he just ran to the door, and when he was about to rush out, a huge floor slab blocked the only doorway with a bang.

Then, the whole building let out a deafening scream, and the earth shook.

Li Chao watched the world outside the window, little by little above his line of sight, until it completely disappeared.

"Then why are you still here? Didn't think about going up there? Mo Chen asked lightly, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Li Chao rubbed his trouser legs with his hands, sighing, "Alas! It's not that I don't want to go! The stairs are blocked, and I can't go up even if I want to! ”

Li Chao picked up a piece of wood from the fire, held it in his hand, and walked to the place of the stairs in Mo Chen's memory.

Li Chao shone it with a torch, and Mo Chen saw that the entrance of the original staircase was tightly blocked by the rubble floor slab, leaving only the first staircase alone.

At this time, Mo Chen's stomach grunted uncontrollably, and he coughed a little embarrassedly.

Hunger was like a contagious plague, reminding everyone present that they hadn't eaten for hours.

Xiao Hao, who was nesting in his mother's arms, pulled the corners of his mother's clothes, and "ignorantly" poked everyone's "strength".

He coquettishly said to his mother, "Mom, I'm hungry." ”

Tears slid down Xiaohao's mother's cheeks, as a mother, she couldn't do anything at the moment, there was no way to fill her son's belly, and even, she didn't know how long their mother and son would live.

Mo Chen licked his dry lips unconsciously, and he asked Li Chao, "These days...... What do you rely on to maintain your strength? ”

At this moment, Mo Chen asked everyone's voice, and everyone's eyes looked at Li Chao expectantly, he suddenly realized, but he looked lonely in the next second.

Li Chao said, "Say it, don't laugh at me." ”

He pointed to the water truck driven by Professor Wen parked not far away, with three dark packages thrown on it.

Li Chao said to Mo Chen, "The garbage we picked up is still quite useful, I am frugal these days, and there is still a lot left." If you don't dislike it......

Only...... Eat! Li Chao looked stupid and looked at his followers, Xiaohao's mother and son running towards the waterwheel.

Li Fang smiled, "I'm going to join in the fun." He limped to the waterwheel.

Mo Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although he was also very hungry, but in his bones, there was only a trace of stubbornness.

He didn't want to be like a foraging wild dog, competing with other people for food.

Li Chao's so-called rations are just food that he and Mo Chen "dug up" in the ruins before coming here.

Some of them are in good condition, such as instant noodles whose packaging has not been destroyed, but the inner dough has long been broken into sections.

But not every time they can pick up this "clean" food, most of the things buried under the rubble are already dirty.

For example, a half-cut grilled sausage where the production date cannot be determined, or bread with an unknown green substance on the surface.

It's not that they don't know that they will get sick if they eat something that has expired, but that if they don't eat it, they will starve to death before they get sick.

Li Fang took some food that was "in good condition", limped back to Mo Chen and them, he handed Dai Min a package of black things, Dai Min frowned, took it hard, and thanked him.

Dai Min ended up eating, the fire flickered, and Mo Chen vaguely discerned that what she was holding in her hand looked like a large bag of bread that had expired.

At this juncture, Mo Chen felt that Wang Lei's "madness" was real, Dai Min broke off a piece of bread, and before she could clean up the plush on the bread, Wang Lei grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing his forehead and screaming.

"Eat slowly!" Dai Min caressed Wang Lei's back with concern.

Li Fang took the food and let Li Chao go, and Li Chao waved his hand to indicate that he had already eaten. Li Fang gave Professor Wen some more food, and finally took two things that didn't know whether the jujube cake or the cream cake and sat next to Mo Chen.

Li Fang raised the things in his hand, and said to Mo Chen with a wry smile: "You pick first!" ”

"Ugh." Mo Chen sighed, picked up a piece casually, held it in his hand and stared at the unknown pastry, and slowly took off the plush on it for a long time.

"Why are you back?" Li Chao asked.

Before Mo Chen could answer, he saw the attendant vomit non-stop, and after a while, the attendant sat weakly on the ground. His eyes sparkled with crystal, and he didn't know if it was because of the pent-up tears from being trapped here, or because he was uncomfortable from vomiting.

Mo Chen glanced at him, and the negative energy of his followers was inevitably transmitted to others, and he hooked everyone's minds back by telling Li Chao about his experiences these days.

As Mo Chen spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Li Chao's face, and when he said that a group of people gathered to take drugs, Li Chao's face sank slightly, and then returned to his original appearance.

After Mo Chen had told everything about it, he raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Hao's mother, and said to Li Chao, "She, you should be very familiar!" Previously, Mo Chen had suspicions about Li Chao, but he didn't expect them to meet again so soon, and he just wanted to hear how he was going to explain.

Li Chao glanced at Xiaohao's mother on the side of the waterwheel, smiled wryly and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Not only familiar, I recognize her." Her name is Russell and she is my patient. ”

Li Chao said that Russell came here to do plastic surgery, which is consistent with Xiaohao's mother's statement.
